|content=Los Angeles Thieves have solidified their place at the top of the Call of Duty League (CDL) standings after capturing back-to-back Major titles, this time emerging victorious at Major 4 held during DreamHack Dallas. The team defeated rivals Atlanta FaZe 4-2 in an intense Grand Final, taking home $150,000 in prize money and crucial CDL Points ahead of the season-ending Championship Weekend.

Despite entering the event as the fourth seed following a modest showing in the qualifiers, LA Thieves navigated a challenging bracket to capture the title. They began their Major 4 campaign with a dominant 3-0 sweep over Vancouver Surge but quickly found themselves in trouble after a narrow 3-2 loss to Miami Heretics, forcing them into the lower bracket.

Refusing to bow out quietly, LA Thieves bounced back with back-to-back 3-1 victories over both Toronto Ultra and defending 2024 CDL Champions OpTic Texas. The lower bracket run set up a rematch against Miami Heretics, and this time the Thieves delivered a clinical 3-0 win, avenging their earlier defeat and earning a spot in the Grand Final.

Their final challenge came against a formidable Atlanta FaZe side, who had previously beaten both the Heretics and Vancouver Surge in their own dominant upper bracket run. Despite FaZe having already won two Majors this season and holding the top position in the standings going into the weekend, it was the Thieves who rose to the occasion.
